About this page

This is the template for what belongs in a Psalm Front Page (usually representing a summary image of each layer) to show up on a psalm's landing page. The code for each block may be found at Template:FrontPageBlock.

If you need to edit

The Begin Here portion you can edit at Template:PsalmFrontPage/BeginHere.
The Other Helpful Visuals portion you can edit at Template:PsalmFrontPage/OtherHelpfulVisuals.
The Explore the Layers portion you can edit at Template:PsalmFrontPage/ExploreTheLayers.

Don't be scared by the code! To change the Explanations, look for code like this:

{{FrontPageBlock 
  | Explanation=Background info on the background ideas... don't forget to follow the guidelines at https://psalms.scriptura.org/w/Psalm_Front_Page!

Everything that comes after the '=' (equals sign) and before the '|' (pipe) is what will show up. That's what you want to change.

You can also add Explanations. When the code looks like this:

{{FrontPageBlock 
  | Title=Repeated Roots
  | Image=Repeated Roots Summary
}}

You need only add a line for the Explanation, like this:

{{FrontPageBlock 
  | Title=Repeated Roots
  | Explanation=Hebrew poetry often uses repeated roots as a poetic device. Roots often repeat across both halves of the psalm, indicating thematic continuity. There are also often roots that repeat only in the first part of the psalm and other roots that repeat only in the second part of the psalm. The thematic change in the psalm may often be traced by comparing these roots.

Background

The continuation of the created order, seen most clearly in the continuous succession of days and nights (cf. Gen 8:22), is a testimony to God's honor and skill.
This rhythm of day and night is governed by the movements of the sun, moon, and stars, which God created and placed in the sky (Gen 1:16-18).
The sun is closely associated with righteousness and law (cf. Mal 3:20; IQ27 I:6–7; see Sarna 1965).
YHWH's instruction is like the sun.
Coming into contact with YHWH's glory and perfection leads a person to recognize their own sinfulness (cf. Isa 6).
